Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

move out and draw fire

A guy I worked with overseas, whose job involves picking through the remnants of suicide bombers in Iraq, saw Hostel and told me it was the most disturbing thing he had ever seen. He didn't seem happy about that.

What movie were Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore both in? I am drawing a blank.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The Hours?

Yes it was. I confirmed with this handy tool on imdb: Look up joint ventures.

ETA: that was not the form I was looking for. I usually get to it by searching for one actor, then scrolling to the bottom of their imdb page and entering the name of another actor in the "look up joint ventures" box.

See now they've gone and taken all the fun out of "Six degrees of Kevin Bacon".

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think (as is usually the case) most of the people who are shouting about how wrong and evil Eli Roth's films are have never seen them. I used to be one of them.

I've seen Cabin Fever, which would be enough to put me off Eli Roth forever even without his insulting halfwitted defense of his movies against charges of homophobia.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, I haven't seen Hostel, so I don't know whether there's anything more homophobic than a few characters saying, "That's so gay," but if that's all there is, I have to agree with him. Especially if the characters are supposed to be assholes deserving of the violence they receive.
